Rajat Barmecha's experience in Bollywood

Sharing his experience in Bollywood, Rajat Barmecha said that after the release of Udaan, he was complimented for his performance everywhere he went, which gave him hope. Rajat further added that he read every script offered to him, but he found them mediocre, formulaic films and a few in which his character was in the script throughout but added no value. Elaborating the reason for not signing any such films, Rajat explained he was not in a state to afford to do a bad film as he could be written off as 'a one-film wonder' artist.

Rajat Barmecha also revealed that he started taking up offers that he did not like and was beginning to feel lost in the jungle. Later, in 2015, when he watched the Emile Hirsche starrer 2007 Hollywood biographical adventure drama, Into The Wild, he started travelling. And, after 5 years of backpacking around the world, he decided to script a film he would be proud to be a part of. Rajat also recounted director Vikramaditya Motwane's mother's words, who once told him that if he can not find the kind of project he wants to do, he should make it himself.
